GETTING TO KNOW
When starting a relationship with the other person, it is essential to know the person first. One must know about the interests, likes and dislikes, previous affinities, the reason for the breakup, and much more. There can be various ways to get to know the person well. Dating is all about finding the one who is perfect for you. The one who understands you well and with whom you can plan the future together. But things get complicated if we don’t know the right way to know the person before planning things further. Therefore, it is essential to keep your senses active and look for practical ways to help you get to know each other well.
Talk About Life
When you date someone, you just do it for fun always. However, sometimes you find a partner with whom you can spend your life together. Therefore, knowing about the life history of that person becomes crucial. Nobody wants to spend life with someone who has committed crimes or is a fraud. There is no other way of finding out about the partner than by knowing about their life. Talk to them about their childhood, parents, what they do, plans for the future, how they spend weekends, their likes and dislikes, their interests, etc. These questions will give you an idea about the person and who they are. You can spot whether the person is lying or narrating the truth by the way they are speaking and presenting themselves.
Listen To What They Say
They’re likely telling you a lot about them when dating someone, and you may not even know it. Getting lost in the hustle and bustle can be easy with so many distractions. Unfortunately, it can happen that what they say reaches in one ear and out the other in a fraction of a second. Therefore, it is essential to listen to your date actively. It will improve your communication and relationship and help you get to understand each other better.
Talk About Past Relationships
Everyone has a past, and sometimes it gets challenging to overcome the feeling of breaking up. Sharing parts of your past relationships can help your partner open up in return. It can be hard to feel comfortable when your partner expresses about the past relationship. But it is necessary, too, when starting a relationship. Open the door for them to share by telling about your past relationships and something about yourself. Maybe you bring up past school experiences or an embarrassing story that’ll make them laugh. This will help you both get to know each other a bit more.
